I'm thinking of embossing a design from my Sizzix machine onto metal and cold connecting/riveting it onto the leather or wrapping it on depending on the leather thickness...maybe even adding a couple custom glass pieces to the ends.Kellie

What a great prize pack! I am so inspired by all of the beautiful projects. I would really like to try experiment with blanks on leather. I would start out by making one for me displaying "Proud Army Wife" in the blank!

Hmm...My favorite? Stamping, Riveting, Engraving, Wrap-around Charm Bracelets, and Braiding. Oh, that's all of them, ok, I like them all. But if I HAVE to pick I'll go with riveting! And I will be heading on over to pin one!

I love them all, but my fav is riveting. I so much want to learn thiss and learn from the best. I am following your boards on Pinterest and posted Riveting to my Pinterest board:http://pinterest.com/pin/560979697304448881/edit/I am also following Beaducation on FB. I so much would love to win.Terri - tjadornments@hotmail.com

I am so in love with leather and have been for a couple years. I am happy to see that other people are getting "into" it more too. It makes supplies easier and cheaper to find. My favorite is to stamp metal and rivet it to the leather. I am just really getting more and more into cold connections. Seeing as I started with fusing and soldering, cold connections are just so fun!

I love leather bracelets but it's hard to pick my favorite. Stamping is great, but i want to learn riveting. Engraving reminds me of magic ink. I'm working on a design for my medical alert bracelets in leather.

I've watched the free class on Engraving Leather on your site and would love to try it. My engraver doesn't come out often because I like metal stamping but again, would love to try engraving on leather.

I have tried just about every craft of interest to me out there and only one has eluded me so far. Metal working. Oh I've bought several books I really want to learn all of it but I am a little intimidated, I think mainly the cost of all the supplies. I also love leather so to combine the two would be perfect and maybe winning this would get me the start I really need! =o)

I would love to try engraving. I have a couple of leather bracelets that I had bought and thought they would be extremely difficult to make, but after watching the video's it seems pretty simple. I would love to have a start-up kit to get me going!
